Eight division world boxing champion and Sarangani congressman Manny Pacquiao and his vice governor wife Jinkee visited convicted drug courier Mary Jane Veloso in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on Friday in what was described as an emotional, tear-filled meeting.

Veloso was sentenced to death in Indonesia after being arrested in 2009 with 2.6 kilograms of heroin sewn into the lining of her suitcase.

She had been due to face the firing squad along with other foreign drug convicts in April but was granted a temporary reprieve after a woman suspected of recruiting her was arrested in the Philippines.

Veloso broke down in tears as Pacquiao and his wife prayed behind bars while Veloso who embraced Manny tightly as she thanked him for his efforts to save her life, gave him a blue scarf with the “Pacman” ...

IMHO Manny is just doing a political exercise to boldster his image for the coming elections. I hope he dont win in the Senate Elections because he is well known internationally. It will shameful to elect Pacman as Senator when based on post fight interviews Manny is not smart person.
